Talk me up!!

I am struggling a bit at the moment. I am financially not coping very well and i am feeling very on my own. The children are fantastic but i find that i am short alot and snappy i just feel under so much pressure. My past has been pushed to the front of my mind and i am struggling to push it back, i can't change it and i do not want to start feeling anger and hatred for things that are gone. I am physically exhausted at the moment and i hate the reflection of the person that looks back at me, it is not me it is a tired and hagged old woman and i am 28 and young but my eyes are so dark. Any idea's on getting back a healthy glow and to start feeling alive again? I do not like the dark thoughts that are swimming around my logical mind.

know how you feel about the financial matters. everytime me and bf think we getting back on our feet something else knocks us over,but we just start again.

the thoughts in ya head well either talk them out or think &quot;fuck it&quot; im not listening to it,or at least try. my head went like that the other day and ended up getting a few things out of my head and the rest is now slowly making its way back to the oblivion.

looks well i seemingly look old enough to have a 13 year old daughter and 15 year old son and guess what im only 24 lol

I think youre thinking about the past cos maybe whats happeneing now...happened then too so its natural to do that. I do it too when things get on top of me but ( and I dont know how I do it ) I dont let it get me that bad that I end up being ill over it. I think ive come to the conclusion that you can change some things but that others need time and youve just got to bare with them. Everything changes over time...its just a bugger waiting for it! The good thing is that as you say...youre logical so hopefully you can see things for what they really are and not build it all into something its not :)

I too, looked in the mirror at one point and hated the person I saw. I let the depression ruin my teeth, hair,skin,etc. For a healthy glow use a washcloth and soap. Scrub your face and then rinse. Buy a moisturizer and use it everyday in the morning and at night. Depressed or not...a glow will appear. When you are feeling short and irritable..put yourself in time out. I do this when I really dont want to let my kids see how mommy can get. I hope you start to feel better hon.

thank you guys. i am going to wing it and see how faking being together goes it has to be better than just giving in to the darkness. i am going i am going to have a bath and pamper myself a little, put on a whole bag of makeup to try and perk up and see how today pans out ill keep you informed.

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
